  • CVE-2026-76977: Clickjacking flaw in SAPUI5 Frame Options Allowlist bypasses framing checks
    SAP UI5 fails to validate the parent frame's origin against its allowlist, enabling clickjacking attacks against authenticated users.

    • Affects SAPUI5 Frame Options Allowlist in SAP_UI versions 750, 754, 755, 756, 757, 758, 816 and UI_700 200.
    • SAP UI5 does not sufficiently validate the parent frame's origin against the configured allowlist, allowing framing restrictions to be bypassed.
    • An unauthenticated attacker hosts a malicious page; if an authenticated victim visits and interacts with it, they can be tricked into unintended actions.
    • CWE-1289 improper input validation; CVSS 4.3 medium (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N), low integrity impact only.

  • knowns before 0.30.0 authorization bypass (CVE-2026-86544) lets read-only users escalate privileges
    knowns versions before 0.30.0 contain an authorization bypass where mutating code actions are misclassified as read-only, allowing privilege escalation.

    • Affects the knowns project in all versions before 0.30.0; tracked as CVE-2026-86544 with CVSS 8.1 (High).
    • Mutating code actions are incorrectly classified as read-only by ActionRegistry, which falls back to CapRead and is gated as such by the Guard middleware.
    • Attackers with read-restricted sessions can exploit code.replace to modify permission configurations and escalate privileges on subsequent calls.
    • Fixed in v0.30.0 via commit a2c98fc5; reported by Tong Hoang Gia and Nguyen Huy Hoang (GHSA-w323-3wpx-f7g5).
